SA and LLS Configuration Settings Matrix

The following table attempts to provide one-to-one correspondence between settings in the SA configuration files and those in the LLS configuration files, when such correspondence is applicable.

Once you determine how you want to configure the LLS to accommodate your previous SA configuration, generate the producer-settings.xml file to define the LLS configuration (described in the later section Learn More About LLS Configuration).

Note:Some SA configuration settings are not supported by the LLS. If you require these settings, you must devise a solution for supporting them as part of your license server migration strategy.

Unless noted otherwise, all settings listed in the table are defined in either server_properties.c for the SA or in producer-settings.xml for the LLS.

* Revenera recommends that you switch to the license-model approach for defining this setting. However, if you would like to define the setting using a behavior similar to that used in the SA, consult Revenera.
